Who Teaches Copyright?

Just this past week I was reading an article in Create magazine about licensing music. It was a reminder of copyrights and the various licenses that you might need to purchase to use someone’s work… Performance Rights, Synchronization, and the like.

Halo 3 Pick-up Lines

“Hey dude, got your pre-order receipt?”

“You didn’t pre-order? Other line, man.”

A 9-11 Rememberance

Of course I knew what day today was, but the emotion didn’t really hit me until I stopped by the school.

One of the Milton High School’s young ladies, as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project, ‘planted’ 3000 flags and worked to have kids in the school write letters to soldiers expressing their feelings […]
